Paesana

Set along the upper Po Valley beneath the Cottian Alps, Paesana is a town whose character is shaped by the mountain course of the Po River and the presence of Monviso nearby. The surrounding valley forms part of the Monviso Biosphere Reserve, where Alpine slopes, woods and cultivated ground meet in a landscape long used for farming and seasonal movement through the mountains. Paesana belongs to Piedmont’s Occitan cultural area, a heritage expressed through local traditions, language and cuisine. Its position also places it on routes linking the Po Valley with the high valleys below Monviso.
